At least one Windsor hardware store has noted that, due to the upcoming implementation of a new rule, there has been a real run on garbage cans.
In 2012, council passed a new bylaw that stated that all garbage must be placed in hard side containers on collection day. It extended the deadline for implementation to Canada day this year.
The rationale behind the new policies is that they will help to control the numbers of skunks, raccoons, rats and other unwanted vermin. It will also help to prevent litter from ripped Bags from ending up on the ground and streets.
The city has even posted a video on YouTube to explain the new rules and how to abide by them.
According to at least one retailer that spoke to CBC News, with the deadline fast approaching, it has been having trouble keeping up with the demand for the type of garbage cans that will now be required. Sales of locks that can help to keep animals out of the trash have also been very brisk.
Those who do not comply with the new bylaws will be given notice from the enforcement officer. Subsequent offenses may be cause for a fine of up to $150.
When a new rule is being implemented by the city, it is important to make sure that everyone is aware. Flyer printing firms can help out here by printing leaflets for distribution to every resident.Get a Free Quote for Bags
